mm: hugetlb: introduce CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP_DEFAULT_ON
When using HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, the freeing unused vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page is default off. Now the vmemmap is PMD mapped. So there is no side effect when this feature is enabled with no HugeTLB pages in the system. Someone may want to enable this feature in the compiler time instead of using boot command line. So add a config to make it default on when someone do not want to enable it via command line.
